• Tbh I find it interesting and am always curious. From my anecdata these are the <40yo self-made money categories:

    • Bankers from money who've made sound investments
    • Bankers who've lucked out on tech startups
    • Crypto platform
    • football
    • sales
    • recruitment
    • dodgy property developer (not so wealthy now and possibly heading to jail)
  • My wife and i always wonder how people get their ££ to buy big places / cars etc when watching TV.
    We come from a generation that doesn't really think outside the box and do more traditional jobs whereas there appear to be a lot more ways to earn money these days - quickly and creatively.
    Think i'm a bit too hideous to look at to earn some £ from only fans but you never know

  • probs a fair bit of survivorship bias in the ones we see like in these kinds of vids too - got to wonder how many others have set up as property developers or started buying/selling vans and not made anywhere near as much money - if not losing a load.

  • Yeah I mean you have the ability to self monitise, so instead of doing kids parties on the weekend you end up like Bounce Patrol. I think that area is a new democratisation in media.

    But on the whole I still think you still basically either get someone to pay you lots of money for making them lots of money - e.g. sales, or you get other people to make you money - own your own business. I don't think either are particularly quick. But if you land in the right industry at the right time sales would be the fastest.

    The youngest and quickest person out of my list was the property developer. Buying low, selling high and bribing people strikes me as a pretty trad route to wealth 😊
